The Norwood House Elmwood Village
This private bright second floor apartment has been completely renovated with mid-century furnishings, TV, high speed internet and washer / dryer. Located in the heart of the Elmwood Village Historic District, it's an easy 20 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes to downtown and the medical campus, and 5 minutes to the Albright-Knox or Burchfield-Penney art museums. The Lexington Coop, coffee shops /restaurants, and Olmstead's beautiful parkway system for walking and running is just blocks away. The space. This light filled back apartment has been meticulously renovated with high quality finishes, restored original doors and trim, and a contemporary bathroom and full-kitchen. It's perfect for a short-term visit to get to know the region or visit family and friends, as well as long-term visitors looking for a quiet hide-away.
The house was originally built in 1890 as a builder's show house and was the first house on the block. We purchased the house in 1998, and have worked to completely restore it, rebuilding the front porch from a 1901 photograph, tearing off 3 layers of siding and fabricating the original dental molding and other trim, and much, much more. Like all of these grand Buffalo Victorians, it is a labor of love and is steeped in history.
Like Buffalo - the house has a storied past with highs and lows, and by the 1970s it had been divided up into a rooming house. Allegedly at this time it was lived in by "hippies and a motorcycle gang" with a ramp up the front steps to get the bikes inside - at least that is what the owner who bought it then and converted it into 3 apartments claimed. Guest access This is a separate 1 bedroom apartment in a 3 unit house - guests have full access to the unit they are renting. Your space is private.
